Google Health (Fitbit) – Android Wellness App

What is Google Health (Fitbit)?

Google Health (Fitbit) is a free Android app developed by Google LLC that brings together data from Fitbit devices and other health sources. It serves as a central hub where you can view your daily activity, sleep patterns, and other wellness metrics, helping you understand how your habits affect your overall health.

Main Features

• Activity tracking – View steps, distance, calories burned and active minutes recorded by your Fitbit device.
• Sleep overview – See sleep duration, stages and trends over time.
• Health dashboard – A single screen that summarizes key metrics such as heart rate, activity rings and sleep score.
• Data integration – Sync information from Fitbit wearables, Pixel Watch and compatible health apps.
• Personal insights – Receive notifications that highlight patterns or changes in your data.

How It Works

After installing the app, you sign in with your Google account and connect your Fitbit device. The app pulls data automatically from the device and stores it securely in your Google account.
